Orion180 Leaders Honored with Insurance Industry Recognition

Business Wire

CEO Ken Gregg Named ‘Insurance Luminary’ and COO Ryan Jesenik Named ‘Rising Star’

MELBOURNE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Orion180, a premier provider of insurance solutions launched in 2018, announced that its top two leaders have been recognized by insurance industry organizations:

  • Ken Gregg, founder and chief executive officer, was named “Insurance Luminary” for technology innovation by publication/website PropertyCasualty360.com.

  • Ryan Jesenik, chief operating officer, was named a 2023 “Rising Star” by Insurance Business America magazine.

Gregg, who founded Orion180 to provide a premier insurance experience for customers and independent agent partners, was recognized for the ability of the firm’s innovative technology, MY180, to be a key driver of an exceptional customer experience.

In recognizing Gregg for technology innovation, PropertyCasualty360.com notes: “MY180 is Orion180’s comprehensive system that seamlessly drives the entire policy lifecycle. It gives [independent insurance] agents the power to quote and issue policies in under three minutes anywhere, any time with its mobile app. It also empowers the Orion180 customer experience team members to provide the exceptional service and support that agents and customers seek.” Policyholders can also benefit from the MY180 mobile app for Apple and Android by viewing policy documents, making payments, checking claims status and conducting home self inspections.

Gregg has over 26 years of industry experience and holds a bachelor’s degree in economics and a master’s degree in finance from the University of Central Florida. He served honorably in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Jesenik was recognized by Insurance Business America for “his leadership and impactful contributions to the insurance sector,” notes the publication. “His efficiency-centric approach heightens productivity, identifies optimization opportunities, and strengthens Orion180’s foundation for expansion.”

Overseeing sales and operations, Jesenik uses analytics and process optimization to orchestrate daily operations with a focus on growth, profitability and customer satisfaction. As COO, he also manages business intelligence, focusing on rate adequacy, territory capacity and operational performance.

Jesenik has more than a decade of experience in operations and corporate finance. He holds a business degree with a concentration in finance from the University of Oregon.

Orion180 was named recently as No. 229 on the 2023 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies and No. 3 among insurance firms. Companies on the 2023 Inc. 5000 are ranked by percentage revenue growth from 2019 to 2022. Orion180 experienced 2,441% growth during that period.
